Women Of Art

The above video is one of my favorites on Youtube right now.  It is a few years old, but I love what the creator did with all of the images of the women’s faces.  These women in the video are all portraits of women in Western works of art for a 500 year period of time.   There are ninety different female faces in the video, and the way the creator, Philip Scott Johnson arranged them all was incredible.  I can watch this video over and over.  I love to light up some of my new incense that I got from legalherbsdirect.com and just enjoy the artistry of it all.

The transitioning from portrait to portrait is enough to keep me tuned in, but after watching it a few times I realize how important women are to art.  Women have been subjects of many famous pieces of art work since the beginning.  How wonderful it is to see such beauty and elegance revealed in the works, starting with Novgorod School’s Archangel and finishing up with Picasso’s Portrait of Francoise.  The soft features of Renoir’s Two Sisters on the Terrace is juxtaposed later on by the lines of Matisse’s La fleur and Portrait of Lydia Delectorskaya.  Just amazing.  I hope you enjoy the video as much as I do.
